Washington, may fail. Although the

he is worth a million, if he is worth a hundred millions or
'"if he is dependent on his weekly salary. WE OUGHT
ALL TO TAKE OUR PLACES IX THE GREAT OR
GANIZATION AND WORK OF THE WORLD.
.Great wealth doesn't mean everything in fact, VERY LIT
TLE in some cases for the full value of it is not gained. Take the
sons of some rich men. Their money is squandered in drinking and
otherwise.
SOMETIMES A POOR MAN IS FAR AND AWAY BETTER OFF
THAN A RICH MAN. I WATCH MY MEN. 1 KNOW THE LIVES OF
MANY. THAT DOESN'T MEAN ONLY THE MEN WHO ARE CLOSE
ABOUT ME, BUT THE MEN IN MY PLANT. SOME WITH ONLY A
MODERATE SALARY ARE FAR HAPPIER THAN MEN TO WHOM
THE WORTH OF A BANK MEANS NO MORE THAN A BOX OF
CIGARS IN" VALUE TO THE ORDINARY PERSON.
. Because a man has money that DOES NOT MAKE HT1I ANY
BETTER. Perhaps .it would be better if all men were equal in
wealth. Still if that Utopian condition were brought about there
would be some in the world that would corral the dollars of -the
others and we would come back to the conditions of the present day.
But let me tell you something right here. I have no rich men
working for- me. I don't want them. When a man takes a position
and is rich enough not to be dependent on the salary which comes
from that position he has reached a stage where he is NOT WORTH
A PINCH OF SALT. Now, this i3 generally speaking. Of course
there are exceptions to all rules.

While the President is using all
the influence of his office in favor of
the Memorial in Washington, where
it can be seen by everybody who
goes to the national capital, the pro
ject is not making the headway which
had been looked for. Local interests

Washington and Gettysburg if this
project should get the favor of Con
gress, and the route would be popular
witb joy riders. But this would hard
ly be an appropriate way of doing
honor of Lincoln's memory. The
President and many other friends of
the Potomac Park plan would be will
ing to favor the building of a national
road to Gettysburg as an independent
scheme, but not as a memorial to
the war President.
. The danger is that iij. the deadlock
between the two branches of Con
gress the memorial may fail of pas
sage in this Congress, and then the
whole project for doing honor to Lin
coln's memory would be "up in the
air." Undoubtedly the Gettysburg
plan would be vetoed if the House
should coerce the Senate into an
agreement on that line. Mr. Tafthas

ficiently emphatic way to leave no un

certainty on that point. If the mat
ter goes over to a Democratic Con
gress and- administration the fate of
the memorial will be in profound
doubt. The average Democrat pre
tends to venerate the memory of Lin
coln, but would a Democratic Con
gress appropriate $2,000,000 for any
such purpose? The friends of the Po
tomac Park plan must be more active
than they have been hitherto if they
want to secure its enactment during
the life of the present administration.
After all the talk about it preceeding
and succeeding the Lincoln centenary
in 1909, the delay in concrete action
to this late day is a discredit to the
country.
OREGON CITY SHOULD Oregon City
HAVE NEW CITY HALL has now
reached a
stage in its development when it
should consider the proposition of
building a new city hall, that would
both care for the growing needs of the
city and would serve a use in the
civic growth of the community. The
plat of ground on which the present
fire house and city hall stands is one
of the most valuable in the city, and
the building which stands upon it is
now antiquated beyond a point at
which the valuation of the ground will
make it economically prudent to al
low further continuance of the pres
ent condition.
When the building was erected it
fulfilled all of the needs of the city,
but with its steadv growth, many new
departments have opened up and
office room must be found in other
buildings to accommodate their needs.
In various buildings throughout the
city the offices of the engineer, city
recorder and collector of water rents
are found, all of which might be plac
ed in an adequate city hall and the
large amount of office rent that is
now paid out by the city, saved to
it.
A building of three or four stories
might be erected by the city on its
half lot on Main Street between Sev
enth and Eighth Streets. The ground
floor could be rented as a store room,
the second floor divided into office
spaces in which all of the city offices
might be placed, and if any offices
were not occupied they could be like
wise rented. On the third floor, the
council room could be located with
rooms on the same floor for the fire
men's meetings and club rooms. The
fourth floor would serve as an excel
lent home for the Commercial Club,
which, while it is no way connected
with the city in a legal way, is nev
ertheless an organization of the city
and for the good of the city. The
present fire apparatus could either be
placed back on the alley near or in
the jail, or moved to some convenient
side street where the ground is not
as valuable.
By this plan the city offices would
be centralized and the city would not
only be saving a great deal of money
that is now being paid out in office
rent, but it would be able to pay the
maintainence expenses of the build
ing from money derived from rents,
such as the lower and top floors. The
building would serve as a beautiful
asset to the city and would further
the plans of a city beautiful.
Taking time by the forelock, the
Oregon City Commercial Club has
already chosen a successor of Judge
R. B. Btatie, who is expected to land
the United States Marshalship. The
Commercial Club has indorsed C. W.
Risley for county- judge. Any hope
that W. H. Mattoon or Nick Blair,
county commissioners may have had
for promotion is thus settled. Esta
cada Progress.
The above is an echo of county di.
vision. Ine Oregon City Commercial
Club has not indorsed C. W. Risley
for County Judge in case Judge Beatie
should be made United States Mar
shal. The Clackamas County Auto
mobile' Club, however, has indorsed
Mr. Risley for . the place. Our es
teemed contemporary should state
facts. As for Commissioners Mattoon
and Blair, the Enterprise is confident
either would make a good Couty
Judge. We would like to see both
of them promoted. They are capable,
industrious and honest men.

BY BALKAN ALLIES
LONDON, Jan. 31. Demand for
.$200,000,000 cash Indemnity for the
war was presented this afternoon to
Turkey by representatives of the Bal
kan ' allies. The Moslems were also
informed that if the war is resumed
this demand will be increased.
Of the $200,000,000 asked, $75,000,
000 is to cover indebtedness of the
conquered Turkish territories, for
which debt the Balkan nation to which
these territories are finally allotted
will be responsible, according to an
agreement with the powers.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 31 The
Turkish cruiser Hamidieh today at
tacked and destroyed three Greek
warships in the harbor of Stampalia,
an island of the Sporades.
The porte has ordered the Turkish
peace envoys to return to Constanti
nople from London forthwith.
The summary withdrawal of the
Ottoman plenipenotentiaries, while the
allies agreed to leave one envoy each
in London, is regarded as retaliation
for the allies' hurried denunciation of
the armistice.
LONDON, Jan. 31. Determination
not to permit the Balkan allies to
partition Turkey as they please," if
war is renewed and the allies win,
was reached today at a conference of
the European ambassadors at the
British foreign office. Notice to this
effect was communicated to the Bal
kan envoys.
It was learned from a semi-official
source that the territorial claims
would be adjusted at a general Euro
pean conference if the Turks are
again defeated. -
Dr. Daneff announced today that
none of the Balkan envoys except the
Bulgarians would leave London be
fore tomorrow. The ambassadors
here are still' hopeful of peace, be
lieving that Turkey ultimately will
accept the demands of the allies.

India's Tree Worshipers
Hundreds of natives of India, espe
cially those liviug in the vicinity of
Calcutta, still are devout worshipers of
the tree, a religion that dates back cen
turies upon centuries. Incongruous as
it may: seem, it- is a common sight to
see some of these people worshiping at
the shrine of some gnarly old tree
stump in the center of a public street.
Christian people traveling in India,
whose curiosity naturally is aroused by
such scenes, are informed through the
aid of an interpreter that it is not the
tree that the natives worship, but the
spirit that created the tree. This soirit
is supposed to be resting under the
stone pile built around the base of the
tree. Chicago News.
